Sanity hearing ends with lawyer dispute Page 6 THE BATTALION TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1974 HOUSTON, Tex. (AP) — A san ity hearing for a youth accused of four of the 27 deaths known as the Houston mass murders abruptly ended Monday when the defendant’s two lawyers quit in a dispute over legal strategy. Lawyers for David Owen Brooks, 19, were close mouthed about the three-sided dispute but statements they did give indicated a disagree ment over a decision by lawyer Ted Musick to plead insanity in the case. Musick and Elaine Hocker were granted permission by District Court Judge William Hatten to withdraw from Brook’s case as the court appointed lawyers. Jim Skelton, 36, a Houston lawyer, told reporters he had talked with Alton Brooks, the defendant’s father, and would take over the case. He said Mrs. Hocker, who disagreed with Musick, had agreed to help represent Brooks privately. Hatten set a hearing Tuesday morning, to recognize Skelton and Mrs. Hocker as private lawyers for Brooks. Hatten had set aside this week to pick a jury to decide if Brooks is mentally competent to assist in his defense. Musick has maintained his client is now insane and was so in the summer of 1973 when the bodies of 27 teen-aged males Were dug up in three locations in and around Houston. Brooks led police to one of those grave sites. After resigning from the case, Musick said, “There’s a basic disag reement between me, the boy and the boy’s father. We’ve been travel ing down one for a year now, and now they want to take another.” Musick has been on the case since it started. Mrs. Hocker was ap pointed last month to assist him. Judge Hatten said she also disag reed with Mustek’s strategy. Skelton, who has been practicing law here about seven years, told re porters he does not believe his client is insane. He said that Judge Hatten had indicated to him that a competency hearing might not be necessary if Skelton objected. Skelton also said that Mrs. Hocker had also been hired by the Brooks family and would join him in defending Brooks. Don Lambright, the assistant dis trict attorney prosecuting the case, argued against the change of lawyers. “We have a real strange situation when a defendant they are alleging to be incompetent is determining who his lawyers should be,” Lam bright said. Lambright, who also helped pro secute a second defendant in the case, Elmer Wayne Henley, 18, said he expected a mental compe tency hearing will still be held. He said anytime the defendant’s mental competency is raised, a judge must determine it before a full trial can be held. Henley and Brooks were charged by police with helping to procure teen-aged boys for Dean A. Corll, 33. Corll was shot to death by Hen ley during a sex party in 1973. Hen ley was convicted on six counts of murder in a trial earlier this year in San Antonio and received 594 years in prison. At Henley’s trial, his statement was read telling how youths lured to the Corll home were homosexually raped, tortured and murdered. Lambright said any new lawyer hired by Brooks woidd have a minimum of 10 days to get ready for the competency hearing. But the prosecutor said he felt it would probably be near Christmas before such a hearing is held. Musick had indicated that if Brooks were found sane, he might advise his client to accept a state offer and plead guilty to one count of murder and receive a 99-year sen tence. Skelton said he plans to try the case and would like to hold it in Houston. The trial of Henley was transfered to San Antonio by Judge Hatten over defense protests. Lambright said he thinks the judge will also transfer Brooks’ case from Houston because of wide spread publicity here. “If we can determine competency and get the venue changed before Christmas, we could go to trial in February or March,” Lambright said. Musick said he had to resign the case because of urgings by the defendant’s father to change the way it was being handled. “I feel I’m right, Musick said. “I feel the strategy I outlined was cor rect.” WANT AD RATES One day 10c per word Minimum charge—$1.00 Classified Display $1.50 per column inch each insertion DEADLINE 3 p. m. day before publication SPECIAL NOTICE BATTALION CLASSIFIED FOR RENT FOR SALE A&M film story contracted, to appear on 1976 state TV A California film company. Cinema Independent Artists (CIA), will produce a documentary on Texas A&M for use in its centennial in 1976. Roger Miller, coordinator for the year-long observance, said a camera crew will be on campus later this month to start filming student ac tivities. The crew will arrive in time to cover the Rice football game weekend and remain through Bon fire. Plans call for a film suitable for use iu a 30-minute television slot, with a statewide premiere tenta tively set for Muster (April 21) in 1976. The documentary is envisioned as a presentation depicting TAMU’s past, present and future impact on the state and nation. Miller said. Emphasis will be placed on the teaching, research and public ser vice programs. Arrangements for the film were made through the Association of Former Students. Film companies from throughout the nation were invited to submit proposals. CIA, based in Hollywood, has handled several major productions, including films for the National Football League and the “60 Mi nutes” program on CBS. Officials of the film company plan to have crews on campus several times during the coming year, as well as at Galveston and other loca tions where TAMU has major instal lations, Miller said.
